I noticed an interesting movement in Opera's stocks – they increased by 15% after the announcement of support for USDT and the gold token XAUT in the MiniPay wallet. It seems the market appreciated this expansion of functionality.
The fact is, MiniPay already has 12.6 million active wallets and processed over $153 million in stablecoin transactions in December. These are significant numbers for a crypto wallet. The announcement of adding USDT and XAUT gives users in emerging markets direct access to dollars and gold without needing to understand blockchain.
Opera managed to create a bridge between fiat and crypto through the "Pay as Local" feature – in Argentina via Mercado Pago, in Brazil via Pix, in Europe via SEPA, and in Nigeria via bank transfers. This is a practical approach.
Tether earned over $10 billion this year and is actively buying gold – up to a billion dollars per month. The announcement of expanding token support fits into this strategy. It looks like a well-coordinated move to capture emerging markets.
